Shipping boats from USA to Australia in standard ocean containers

Over the years of shipping boats of all types and sizes we have developed a unique boat loading procedure that is very safe, effective and, most importantly, damage proof. It allows us to efficiently pack in standard ocean containers boats up to 28 foot long, 8’6” wide, whether on trailer or not. Your boat will rest on a custom built cradle, properly secured and strapped inside the container. Prior to loading the boat we would drain all fluids, remove batteries, outboards, tops, etc and safely pack them inside the container along with boats. We can even arrange pressure washing and cleaning, to avoid quarantine and penalties in Australia.

Shipping boats on flat racks (flatracks) is another availalbe transportation option when importing boats from USA to Australia.

Forklift pockets are provided on some 20' flat rack containers, while gooseneck tunnels can be found at both ends of a 40' flatrack. Flat rack containers can also be supplied with lashing winches with lashing belts of 2 metric tons and, depending on the type of cargo, stanchions may also be provided.

They are stowed under the vessels decks along with other “rolling” or self-propelled cargoes, such as trailers, motorhomes, vehicles etc.
